If you need select tag, you can use this.
<%= select_tag('type_options',options_for_select(TYPES)) %>

How about something like this:

Admin::TYPES.each do |key, value|
  "<option id='#{value}'>#{key}</option>"
end

It should come out looking like:

<option id='1'>administrator</option>
<option id='2'>system</option>
<option id='3'>station</option>
<option id='4'>guest</option>
