To draw a check box you have to first configure your table in DB properly. Set these options on your field in DB:

  1. Field Type = Tinyint
  2. Length/Values = 1
  3. Set Defualt = 0

and finally your view:

echo $this->Form->input('checkbox_field');

100% will work if not then set default value for your field in view:

echo $this->Form->input('checkbox_field', array('type'=>'checkbox'));

My solution is according to v.2.0

<?php
echo $this->Form->input('field_name', array(
    'label' => 'Some label',
    'selected' => $selected
    /*maybe some other options*/
));
?>

if you've specified model name above, while creating the form, you dont need to use name of model . If field is boolean, you'd get the control as checkbox automatically. Alsom you can specify it in options array like 

'type'=>'checkbox'

good luck!

First, make sure your value is a boolean or tinyint. Otherwise, you will never get a checkbox.

Then, just build like this :

echo $this->Form->input('Model.field', array(
    'type' => 'select',
    'multiple' => 'checkbox',
    'options' => array(
            'Value 1' => 'Label 1',
            'Value 2' => 'Label 2'
    )
));
