History learning in high schools, including at SMAN 14 Gowa, often emphasizes rote memorization of facts, leading to low historical thinking skills among students. This quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group study tests the effect of Scrapbook media integrated with a Deep Learning approach on 11th-grade students' historical thinking skills and history learning outcomes, using a sample of 36 students (18 per experimental and control group) selected via purposive sampling from a population of 36. Instruments included essay tests for historical thinking, objective tests for learning outcomes, observation, and documentation, with data analyzed via the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, Levene's homogeneity test, and the independent t-test. Results revealed significant gains in the experimental group (historical thinking: mean pretest 55.67 to posttest 83.22; learning outcomes: 58.11 to 86.89) compared to the control group using infographics (historical thinking: 56.72 to 72.28; learning outcomes: 58.50 to 74.33), with mean differences of 10.94 (t=5.55, p=0.000) for historical thinking and 12.55 (t=7.69, p=0.000) for learning outcomes. Scrapbook media with Deep Learning proved more effective for student-centered history education.
