Students can gain admission to the vast majority of high schools without having to take an entrance exam. To ensure the quality of each student, remedial teaching plays a significant role in students' basic academic competence. Remedial teaching generally includes the processes of "assess - teaching - reassessment". Assessment system aims to enhance the quality in student's basic competence selection. The assessment system provides the data of the students' basic ability, academic ability, and learning motivation. Based on the data, teachers can only set up the teaching goals and implement appropriate learning materials for the students. The current assessment system tends to ignore some vital aspects of students' learning motivation during the assessment process. That is, the assessment system cannot fully reflect whether the scores are underestimated by the unmeasured aspects such as students’ lack of motivation and levels of efforts. It is also unknown that whether student guessing influences the results. Caused by incomplete results of assessment, teaching resources cannot be effectively used to help low-achieving students. The researcher uses EEG to conduct a quasi-experimental study. The brainwave data of the experimental group are collected before and after the interventions of motivation strategies. The data, then, are compared with the data of the control group that are not intervened by motivation strategies. The results of this study show that post-test scores of low-proficiency subjects intervened by motivation strategies are higher in comparison with those in the control group. In addition, the EEG demonstrates that in post-tests of the experimental group, subjects' attention performance index is increased and meditation changes are higher than the control group. The results achieved significant difference.
