AB  - A computer-basedsimulation, Hazelton High at REST (HHR), with embedded performance-basedassessments and Likert-type survey questions was created to assess preserviceteacher recognition of racial and gender intolerant behaviors. The simulationwas modeled after the Racial Ethical Sensitivity Test (REST), a reliablevideo-based assessment, measuring professionals’ ethical sensitivity forcultural competence and recognition of intolerant behaviors in school settings.Ethical sensitivity skills, based on education professional ethics, are used todetermine knowledge of ethical responsibility and professional attitudes andbehaviors. A mixed-methods comparison study was conducted between HHR and theREST-video with 31 preservice science education students to investigate theeffect of each on their ethical sensitivity. A post-simulation assessment wasalso conducted to determine and the usability and perception of HHR. It washypothesized; HHR, an immersive simulation, would affect perspective taking ofpreservice science teachers and indirectly influence their ethical sensitivity.Data analysis determined ethical sensitivity score (EES) for HHR and REST-videousing a survey and performance-based assessments. Post-simulation interviewhelped inform how a participant perceived the HHR. Results indicate theREST-video group had a significantly higher EES than the HHR group.Performance-based assessments within HHR showed a more comprehensive andcomplex picture of participant EES. The implication of this work for scienceeducation programs to use professional codes as a guide for evaluation anddevelopment of candidate disposition concerning cultural competency and the useof Serious Educational Games (SEGs) as ethical sensitivity assessments.
