how to think within discipline (history)

how to start learning history from scratch ? what approach should be applied to this discipline? what does it mean to think historically(thinking within discipline)?

Do you mean learning the IB history course by yourself, without any teaching what so ever? Which Route? Route 1 or Route 2? Please be a little more specific. You can't just learn everything that happened in the past. There is 20th Century history (which is quite large within itself) and so much more!

Well thinking historically means to analyze all the factors that are regarded and linked to a specific event that occurred in the past.

For example, thinking historically can mean to analyzing the social, economical, political and military factors that explain the causes of WW1 (1914-1918). If anything, it means to show your historical knowledge of this subject by explaining each factor through an objective point of view.

If you can indicate what you are trying to do exactly with a bit more precision and examples, maybe I could answer your questions more thoroughly.

Hope this helps,
