My supervisor told me that I should write paragraph in which I introduce the problem that will be addressed by this chapter (research methodology).
What are some of the key aspects I should focus on? I understand that it cannot be a too detailed description, as my supervisor recommends only a single paragraph but I also do not want to write too little.
I don't know if it's possible to describe in any detail which aspects you should focus on without knowing something about what you're writing in the chapter, since as Sverre said, it's ultimately just the answer to one question.
An introduction is ultimately just a concise summary of the contents of a piece of writing, specifically a chapter; in this case, the points to focus on would be the basic components of a description of research methodology:
Then you can explain your full reasoning in the remainder of the chapter.
Answer this question in less than one minute, assuming that I have the basic knowledge of your area:
What is your research about?
Than add these in less than two minutes:
Why did you do your research in that specific topic? What is your innovation?
Lastly,
How did you do it?
Now, write your answers on a paper. And that would be the intro.
Edit: Commentors are right. Only the last part would be an intro for methodology.
