The main objective in labeling the topic model was assigning pertinent labels to each topic, guided by the observed word similarities. This approach aimed to amplify topic clarity and strengthen effective communication, substantially enhancing their applicability within the UAQTE framework. Working in close partnership with domain experts from various disciplines, including Commission on Higher Education (CHED) administrators, social scientists, data scientists, and recipients of the UAQTE program, greatly aided in choosing topic labels that were clearly understandable and closely aligned with the research objectives. Table 2 displays the labels established through this collaborative process, reflecting a well-rounded and research-focused understanding of the topics.
