Conclusion-section reflection from applying the framework to school-teacher support during ERT. The bias is attributed to the reviewed studies' context: the introduction notes "all but one of the reviewed studies were situated in a higher education context".

"Application of the proposed framework to our context has also shown that the framework is biased towards TPD for OBL in higher education settings due to the context of studies reviewed in the paper"
