In recent years, the volume of research on laterality has considerably increased. However, there is a gap in understanding its relationship with education because no comprehensive studies have synthesized all existing information on this topic. Therefore, this study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of scientific and academic publications from the past decade (2012--2022) on laterality and education. This study uses high-impact search engines, specifically Web of Science, to compile and analyze relevant works in this field. This research employed an ex post facto retrospective design. The study used a subscription-based database provided by the University of Alicante, specifically the Web of Science Core Collection. This database encompasses various fields, including Sciences, Social Sciences, and Arts and Humanities, and includes 254 categories such as Education Research, Pedagogy, Science Disciplines, and Special Education. After applying the search strategy and various filters in the database, the data were screened according to established inclusion and exclusion criteria. The final sample comprised N = 281 documents. Analysis of these results highlights the benefits of laterality for enhancing motor, neuromotor, and psychomotor skills, which are crucial for the holistic development of individuals. Because these aspects align with key educational objectives, it is recommended to implement classroom methodologies that promote laterality-related activities to assess their effectiveness in practice.
