You can also use params for the same in Yii.

Ex: Define categoryValues under "params" array in config file.

'params' => array(
  'categoryValues'=>array(
      'EASY',
      'MEDIUM',
      'HARD'
  ),
),

Use :

echo $form->dropdownList($model , 'category' , Yii::app()->params['categoryValues']);

make a function in your model to return an array of your list:

public function getOptions()
{
   return array(
      'EASY',
      'MEDIUM',
      'HARD',
   );
}

then you could use it like this:

echo $form->dropdownList($model , 'category' , $model->options); // this will use that function to get the array
