THE MURABBI IS A MODEL
- The role of a lecturer as a murabbi is basically doing things right to be a model for students.
- The most effective murabbi is one who undertakes his role without consciously thinking about it.
- They must be careful in their actions, attitudes, and words at all times because being models and leaders they are seen and are emulated.
- They must be aware that sometimes they can teach using body language without saying anything[1]; they have to be careful about their public dispositions
BEHAVIOR OF MURABBI LECTURERS
- Lecturers should take their task very seriously; this includes over-preparation for any teaching activity however small it may be and being punctual.
- They should have the humility to know that their knowledge is limited and that they can always learn more. Arrogance of the lecturer because of knowledge is condemned[2].
- They should be ready to carry out their function at all times and at any opportunity[3].
- They should have an appropriate emotional expression. They can raise the voice to emphasize an important point[4]. They can show anger or displeasure when a mistake is committed[5].
COMMUNICATION WITH THE STUDENTS
- A murabbi lecturer desists from too much preaching to students and will focus on showing them the right example of behavior and creating the right atmosphere for their moral development.
- He will also desist from direct criticism; when he sees a mistake he should correct it by showing the right behavior.
- Since the influence of the murabbi lecturer is by being a model, he should be careful to make sure that his words are consistent with his action both inside and outside the classroom.
