The article identifies a limitation of the reviewed research — it "focused mostly on the impact of TPD for OBL on teachers" — and proposes student-centered evaluation investigating correlations with students' learning and engagement as a future research direction. This is the authors' research-gap claim, not an empirical result.

"The paper focused mostly on the impact of TPD for OBL on teachers. Student-centered approaches to evaluating impact could be used in future research, investigating how the synthesized findings from Philipsen et al. (2019), forming their framework of important components of TPD for OBL, correlate to students' learning and engagement."
