Features: In the history of higher education development, regarding the three functions of teaching, research, and service in higher education, there has been a prolonged debate spanning two centuries characterized by single-function theories represented by figures like Newman and Hutchins, dual-function theories represented by Humboldt and Huxley, and functional theories represented by the Morrill Act and Van Hise's "Wisconsin Idea." After periods of conflict, inheritance, and integration, the function of higher education serving society has gradually gained consensus, increasingly highlighting its importance. As societal, political, economic, and technological developments evolve, the connotation and channels of higher education service will continue to be enhanced and broadened. This book primarily outlines the service of education, products and customers in education service, the service-oriented education system in higher vocational education, and the quality management of higher vocational education service.
