The topic of this thesis is interprofessional communication in education. The thesis consists of a theoretical and an empirical part. In the theoretical part, the concepts of verbal, non-verbal and paraverbal communication as well as professional and interprofessional communication are defined and described, and as part of the empirical part, research was conducted with the aim of examining the characteristics of interprofessional communication in three primary schools in the city of Rijeka. The research was conducted on all employees of the selected schools, and the data was collected through an online questionnaire. The independent variable on the basis of which the sample was selected is the size of the school and the number of employees. The research results indicate that the size of the school and the number of employees influence the characteristics of interprofessional communication in primary schools. Considering the small number of respondents and the limited number of schools, there is still a lot of room for further research in this area. In accordance with this, one of the recommendations is to conduct research with the aim of examining the characteristics of interprofessional communication on a larger sample.
