The dynamics of adolescents' intellectual development under different educational models (corrective, traditional, enriching) is considered. The results of empirical study of intellectual development of adolescents of 5- th – 9-th forms (n = 566 pers.) are analyzed in the complex of convergent, divergent and style properties of intellect. By means of cluster analysis the dynamics of style properties of intellect is presented and splitting of cognitive styles' equivalence range and impulsivity –reflectivity poles for adolescents is done. The hypothesis that the dynamics of intellectual development in adolescence has multidirectional character, including progressive, regressive and stepwise changes is set up. The influence of educational factor on dynamics of intellectual development in adolescence is considered. It is determined that senior adolescent pupils under enriching educational model demonstrate considerable increase in the level of convergent and style properties of intellect in comparison with the pupils under traditional model.
