How to call AngularJS function from select > option

Question

I need to call an AngularJS function from selection:

<select ng-model="selection" >
<option onselect="angular.element(this).scope().functionCall('one')">one</option>
<option onselect="angular.element(this).scope().functionCall('two')">two</option>
<option onselect="angular.element(this).scope().functionCall('three')">three</option>
<option onselect="angular.element(this).scope().functionCall('four')">four</option>
</select>

However, the function never gets called.

In the controller,

$scope.functionCall = function(value){
// do stuff with value
}

How can I call the function.

It's recommended that you use ng-change for that matter, the result may be the same as Cyril's, but the code is more readable and testable, also it is considered a better practice:

Here is a plunker demonstrating it in action: http://plnkr.co/edit/7GgwN9gr9qPDgAUs7XVx?p=preview

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
  $scope.listOfOptions = ['One', 'Two', 'Three'];

  $scope.selectedItemChanged = function(){
    $scope.calculatedValue = 'You selected number ' + $scope.selectedItem;
  }
});

And the HTML:

<select ng-options="option for option in listOfOptions" 
        ng-model="selectedItem"
        ng-change="selectedItemChanged()">
</select>

Hope that helps. Thanks.
