Long Description of the Plot: The book "A Conceptual Model on the Impact of Mattering Sense of Belonging Engagement Involvement and SocioAcademic Integrative Experiences on Community College Students' Intent to Persist" delves into the intricacies of community college students' sense of belonging, engagement, and socioacademic integrative experiences and their impact on the students' intent to persist. The author posits that these factors play a crucial role in shaping the students' motivation and commitment to their academic pursuits, ultimately influencing their decision to continue or discontinue their education. The book begins by exploring the concept of mattering, which refers to the feeling of being valued and appreciated by others. The author argues that when students feel that they matter to their peers, instructors, and the institution as a whole, they are more likely to develop a strong sense of belonging and engagement, leading to increased motivation and persistence. This sense of belonging is critical in fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment, where students feel supported and encouraged to succeed. The text then delves into the significance of socioacademic integrative experiences, which encompasses the integration of social and academic aspects of the educational experience. The author highlights the importance of incorporating both social and academic elements to create a holistic and meaningful learning environment. By doing so, students can develop a deeper understanding of the subject matter, foster meaningful relationships with their peers and instructors, and feel more connected to their academic pursuits. Furthermore, the book emphasizes the role of engagement in the learning process.
