Summary/Abstract: The results of PISA testing from the Program for International Assessment of Student Achievement in Bosnia and Herzegovina are relevant internationally measurable indicators of our educational reality, which is not great at all. The results showed poor knowledge in understanding what our students learn, how much they "extract" from the content and read between the lines, and how much they apply this knowledge in practice. This is due to the predominantly traditional communication styles of authoritarian teachers (as subjects) who motivate students (as objects) for useless performance. Therefore, the issue of communication within the educational process necessarily arises because the style of communication that prevails among the participants in the educational process determines the final outcome of the desired learning goals. Traditional teaching and communication are not valid sources of students' knowledge, and they are not a place where open, free and democratic communication will be reached, it is not efficient, and it lacks support in the development of flexible thinking. This research investigates the features of communication in traditional teaching in which students' voice, their own opinion, attitudes and suggestions are missing, where the student remains an object who is deprived of opportunities to encourage and develop communication, and even its termination. The students in the final grades of primary school and high school students in the Sarajevo Canton expressed their views and opinions on these features. The aim of this study was to investigate students' attitudes and opinions in order to find the statistically significant differences in the attitudes of primary and secondary school students in Sarajevo Canton, in assessing communication in traditional teaching, gender, the school they attend (primary and secondary) and success in the previous class. Success is not obtained in such a system of communication of traditional teaching (one-way communication with students, teaching aids and content) in which teachers with the appropriate style of communication (usually authoritative) demand complete obedience and humility from their students.
