✦ Synopsis
A prescriptive-normative science like educational science gives guidelines and recommendations about the kind of solutions to be selected for problems with which one is confronted in education. These norms function as a tool for improving education. At the same time these norms restrict the teacher or educationalist in his ability to find new solutions. Norms reduce the number of solutions and hamper the teacher or educationalist in his problem-solving thinking. What is needed is a procedure which wil! make the teacher and educationalist more imaginative in their search for solutions. This article outlines such a procedure for reducing the negative effects of self imposed norms on the solution of educational problems.
